What museum? All museums in NJ are outside, which explains why most of their non-operational equipment falls apart. And sitting in a museum is worthless. Getting something back on the road is the goal of the URHS more times than none
@NJT4111 I had a question about that...How much for the full restoration of the fleet and is it going to offer a "scenic" package such has a ride into the country from Monclair to the Pennsylvania area?
@NJT4111 Just because it's outside shouldn't mean it falls apart. Danbury has this Pennsy postal car that when they brought back from hell. It's not operational but they let people tour the car and I'll tell you, they've taken such good care of that car that it looks brand new. Now a good portion of this equipment probably can be put back on the road, but for items like that GG1, a museum where people can climb inside to tour the cab and pose for pictures next to is probably where it should go.
Ok fine, but that means they have the money to eep up work on the car if they need too. With the URHS, it's slow moving, mainly because of money issues, therefore keeping it outside would be exactly what they are doing now anyway
@NJT4111 Well taking that into consideration, that means the URHS would be likely to leave that GG1 alone to rot until every other car in their possession has been restored. They should probably give it some other preservation society or museum to restore, although I'm not sure who would be up for such a unique job.
I had fun just watching the Transit engines. Personally I'm not fond of the GG1, so it not getting restored isn't a big loss. Some of the E and F units I would like to see run again.
Big Dead. I don't think it's ever going to get fixed up, to the point of running under it's own power. And if it does, amtrak wouldn't allow it to travel faster then restricting speed.
were did this train come from 15 minutes from my house is a station and that pennsy car was there and 2 f units like those

@trainzrok I don't think it is, but if it is, I would assume to power the AC on the locos

@NJT4111 oh, didn't think they needed HEP for ac.

@trainzrok Because when these engines where rebuilt, the AC units where tied into the HEP. Dont ask why.

So is that where they're gonna stay for a while or are they finally getting a long awaited restoration?

Idk what people expect to do with this stuff. Most of it can't run, especially that GG1.

@PossessedDonutz You don't need to get it running. If you can restore the exterior and the cab you can put it on display in a railroad museum.
